Actually, the coding changes made to the decklink source files in this 
patch have pretty much nothing to do with decklink itself, and anyone 
with familiarity with semaphores and pthread could review those changes. 
  In fact, all I really did was use already existing approaches for 
replacing a semaphore with the combination of a condition variable, 
mutex, and counter, and there are plenty of examples of how to do this 
on the Web.
